| apollo-soyuz test project: The Greatest Adventure Colin Burgess, 2021-09-10 The Greatest Adventure explores the past, present, and future of the space race. The space race was perhaps the greatest technological contest of the twentieth century. It was a thrilling era of innovation, discovery, and exploration, as astronauts and cosmonauts were launched on space missions of increasing length, complexity, and danger. The Greatest Adventure traces the events of this extraordinary period, describing the initial string of Soviet achievements: the first satellite in orbit; the first animal, man, and woman in space; the first spacewalk; as well as the ultimate US victory in the race to land on the moon. The book then takes the reader on a journey through the following decades of space exploration to the present time, detailing the many successes, tragedies, risks, and rewards of space exploration. |
| apollo-soyuz test project: Skylab 4 Dwight Steven-Boniecki, 2016-12 Book & DVD. By the end of 1973 the United States was firmly entrenched in its long-term space station program. The Skylab Orbital Workshop had managed to survive its birthing pains and had already successfully carried two crews in low earth orbit when Apollo astronauts Gerald Carr, William Pogue and Ed Gibson strapped themselves atop one of the remaining Saturn IB super boosters. Destined to be the second-to-last crew to fly in the remarkable Apollo spacecraft the three men would spend an unprecedented 84 days in space. Although none of them had any previous spaceflight experience they had all trained for many years in hopes of a trip to the moon, only to find themselves slated to set new long-duration records for spaceflight. Over almost three months Carr, Pogue and Gibson conducted an inordinate amount of experiments inside the cavernous Skylab space station. They studied the sun in ways never before achieved, monitoring solar flares and coronal mass ejections from our home star. They also began the first real work of earth observation. The crew of Skylab 4 proved that it was possible for humans to live in space for extended periods without too many adverse effects. They worked out the first stringent space exercise regimens to help them to maintain their health and they conducted multiple spacewalks. Without a doubt, the crew of Skylab 4 pioneered the way forward in space station research and their efforts would light the path for the International Space Station. In this book you will find the remarkable details of NASAs final early space station experiment through the original documents published at the time of the mission, including the mission debriefing telling the story in the crews own words. Included with this book is a DVD featuring launch video of the Skylab 4 mission, rare audio of the re-entry of Skylab with a Skylab slideshow, Skylab 4 Status Report, Skylab 4 Inflight Press Conference, The Legacy of Skylab and more! |
| apollo-soyuz test project: Lunar Outfitters Bill Ayrey, 2020-09-15 The design processes behind a giant leap for mankind Neil Armstrong in a space suit on the moon remains an iconic representation of America’s technological ingenuity. Few know that the Model A-7L pressure suit worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts, and the Model A-7LB that replaced it in 1971, originated at ILC Industries (now ILC Dover, LP), an obscure Delaware industrial firm. Longtime ILC space suit test engineer Bill Ayrey draws on original files and photographs to tell the dramatic story of the company’s role in the Apollo Program. Though respected for its early designs, ILC failed to win NASA’s faith. When the government called for new suit concepts in 1965, ILC had to plead for consideration before NASA gave it a mere six weeks to come up with a radically different design. ILC not only met the deadline but won the contract. That underdog success led to its greatest challenge: winning a race against time to create a suit that would determine the success or failure of the Apollo missions—and life or death for the astronauts. A fascinating behind-the-scenes history of a vital component of the space program, Lunar Outfitters goes inside the suit that made it possible for human beings to set foot on the moon. |

| apollo-soyuz test project: The Politics of Space Security James Moltz, 2011-06-29 The past five decades have witnessed often fierce international rivalry in space, but also surprising military restraint. Now, with an increasing number of countries capable of harming U.S. space assets, experts and officials have renewed a long-standing debate over the best route to space security. Some argue that space defenses will be needed to protect critical military and civilian satellites. Others argue that space should be a sanctuary from deployed weapons and military conflict, particularly given the worsening threat posed by orbital space debris. Moltz puts this debate into historical context by explaining the main trends in military space developments since Sputnik, their underlying causes, and the factors that are likely to influence their future course. This new edition provides analysis of the Obama administration's space policy and the rise of new actors, including China, India, and Iran. His conclusion offers a unique perspective on the mutual risks militaries face in space and the need for all countries to commit to interdependent, environmentally focused space security. |

| apollo-soyuz test project: Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) American and Soviet Press Kits - Detailed Information on the First Joint U. S. and Russian Spaceflight, Docking Module, Experiments, Soyuz Capsule World Spaceflight News, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), 2017-11-30 These American and Soviet Press Kits for the historic 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) mission provide a wealth of information about the mission and the spacecraft - including the first extensive official description of the Soyuz capsule. The introduction states: This document contains information about the Apollo Soyuz Test Project and consists of two parts prepared by the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. respectively. Each part contains information on the goals and on the program of the mission, features and characteristics of the spaceships, a flight plan and joint and unilateral experiments. Brief biographies of the astronauts and cosmonauts involved in the flight, a description of technical support activities, also a description of the flight management personnel of each side are included. The Soviet and American parts have been prepared individually. The release previewed the on-time and successful mission: Two manned spacecraft will be launched into Earth orbit July 15 - one from Merritt Island, Florida, and the other from Central Asia - to bring into reality the May 1972 agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union to work toward a common docking system for future generations of spacecraft. The nine-day Apollo Soyuz Test Project mission will mark the first time that manned spacecraft of two nations have met in space for joint engineering and scientific investigations. First to go into space will be the Soviet Union's Soyuz spacecraft with Commander Aleksey Leonov and Flight Engineer Valeriy Kubasov aboard, lifting off at 8:20 am Eastern Daylight Time July 15 from the Soviet Cosmodrome at Baykonur. Seven and a half hours later, at 3:50 pm Eastern Daylight Time, Apollo will lift off from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39B with Commander Thomas P. Stafford, Command Module Pilot Vance Brand and Docking Module Pilot Donald K. Slayton aboard. Control Centers in Houston and Moscow will exercise joint ground control over the mission through exchange of communications and tracking data as a further means of fulfilling the agreement on space cooperation. Communications between the Apollo spacecraft and Mission Control-Houston and between the docked Apollo Soyuz spacecraft and both control centers will be enhanced by use of a communications satellite for real-time relay of voice, data and television signals. Applications Technology Satellite 6 (ATS-6), in synchronous orbit 35,900 km (22,260 mi.) above Kenya, will provide communications coverage for 55 percent of each Apollo and docked Apollo Soyuz orbit through Apollo's steerable high-gain antenna. This will be the first time a satellite is used to relay communications between an orbiting manned spacecraft and ground stations. Both live and recorded color television will be relayed from Apollo to keep flight control teams and the general public informed on mission activities. |

| apollo-soyuz test project: Apollo's Legacy Roger D. Launius, 2019-05-14 An all-encompassing look at the history and enduring impact of the Apollo space program In Apollo's Legacy, space historian Roger D. Launius explores the many-faceted stories told about the meaning of the Apollo program and how it forever altered American society. The Apollo missions marked the first time human beings left Earth's orbit and visited another world, and thus they loom large in our collective memory. Many have detailed the exciting events of the Apollo program, but Launius offers unique insight into its legacy as seen through multiple perspectives. He surveys a wide range of viewpoints and narratives, both positive and negative, surrounding the program. These include the argument that Apollo epitomizes American technological--and political--progress; technological and scientific advances garnered from the program; critiques from both sides of the political spectrum about the program's expenses; and even conspiracy theories and denials of the program's very existence. Throughout the book, Launius weaves in stories from important moments in Apollo's history to draw readers into his analysis. Apollo's Legacy is a must-read for space buffs interested in new angles on a beloved cultural moment and those seeking a historic perspective on the Apollo program. |

| apollo-soyuz test project: Collaboration in Space and the Search for Peace on Earth Andrew Jenks, 2021-12-07 There has been quite a bit of scholarship on the history of the space race, but collaboration in space has received little attention and has usually been dismissed as a propaganda side show. This book thus fills a critical gap by showing the importance of collaboration in space as an antidote to Cold War hostilities and as an important yet underappreciated episode in the development of science and technology in the twentieth century. |

| apollo-soyuz test project: The Art of NASA Piers Bizony, Mike Acs, 2020 Formed in 1958, NASA has long maintained a department of visual artists to depict the concepts and technologies created in humankind's quest to explore the final frontier. Culled from a carefully chosen reserve of approximately 3,000 files deep in the NASA archives, the 200 artworks presented in this large-format edition provide a glimpse of NASA history like no other. *A 2021 Locus Award Winner* From space suits to capsules, from landing modules to the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, and more recent concepts for space planes, The Art of NASA presents 60 years of American space exploration in an unprecedented fashion. All the landmark early missions are represented in detail--Gemini, Mercury, Apollo--as are post-Space Race accomplishments, like the mission to Mars and other deep-space explorations. The insightful text relates the wonderful stories associated with the art. For instance, the incredibly rare early Apollo illustrations show how Apollo might have looked if the landing module had never been developed. Black-and-white Gemini drawings illustrate how the massive NASA art department did its stuff with ink pen and rubdown Letraset textures. Cross-sections of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project docking adapter reveal Russian sensitivity about US male probes penetrating their spacecraft, thus the androgynous adapter now used universally in space. International Space Station cutaways show how huge the original plan was, but also what was retained. Every picture in The Art of NASA tells a special story. This collection of the rarest of the rare is not only a unique view of NASA history--it's a fascinating look at the art of illustration, the development of now-familiar technologies, and a glimpse of what the space program might have looked like. |
